Put your good/bad service stories here.

This is a great idea, and I'm totally envious of your Toyota btw.

I guess my most of my stories are about absolutely terrible waitstaff, it would seem that "service" is something you only see rarely nowadays in that industry unless you go upscale.

But I was really impressed with Wolskis in Milwaukee, this place was great!


You can read about the place here:...

The bartender was awesome, cracking jokes, gave us a free pitcher when he was changing kegs, told us all about the history if the bar, cracked jokes, made fun of Stool's pedo facial hair, etc.

He gave us all a stack of stickers/posters/t-shirt when they found out we were visiting, and told us all about his city, where else to drink/eat/dance in jorts.

Best meep bar I've been to in years.

Years ago, I bought a used Ford mini-van. I knew going in that it needed a wheel alignment and a minor tune-up. I saw an ad in the paper that one of the local dealerships had a sale on wheel alignments and as a bonus it was a drive in, no appointment service with evening hours. I headed over the next evening to get the work done. The waiting room had a full view of the service bays so you get to see the work in progress. I watched as one mechanic looked at the front end while the van was on the hoist and then another and another and then they're calling the service manager to come out to the bay to consult on my van. The manager comes back and summons me to the counter and starts off by telling me that they have great financing for big repair bills. He then proceeds to tell me that I need to replace the tie rod ends, the ball joints and the front suspension. I recall that the estimate was something like $4000 when it was all said and done. I thanked him for the estimate and took my vehicle home. After some calling around the next day I found out that I could get the work done quite a bit cheaper at local garage. I dropped the van off with directions to go ahead and do all of the work that the dealership had said needed to be done. A few hours later I got a call from one of the mechanics asking me who told me that I need all of these parts changed. He went on to say that there was some wear on everything but it was all with in tolerances maybe we should change one of the tie rod ends and do an alignment. These guys could have soaked me and I wouldn't have had a clue. Since then, I take all of my vehicles there and recommend them everyone who asks.

@LORDKAHUNA

Is that Vas two down from you and meep Ninja in the background?

As a follow-up to my story, I have sent a letter to Toyota's regional office about these guys. I hope they get some sort of recognition from Head Office for this.

@dragonstaff

Thats Mundhra, Vas, Clavis, Stool, meepninja

Clavis and stool are hiding (kissing)

I think Gothmog was in the can or something.

So what site do guys hang out at now? (You can PM me if you don't want these other guys to know)

We've had crappy interweb for years. I just called & meeped, and they doubled the speed for half the price for a year.

Go figure.

I am pleased.
